Was pondering this for a long time... If i was learning say, chinese vocabulary words, which i do not know how to link to english..... how do i put it into the list?
Use the English alpabet A=apple then hook the Chinese word to that. In fact it might be fun to have a number of ABC list Fruits, and their Chinese translations, Articles of Clothing and their Chinese equivalent. Parts of a home and the Chinese equivalent. This gives you 23 to 26 words for each category and an easy way to see gaps in your learning.
